Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten C+	Rotten 25%	Friday the 13th (2009)	" *This new Friday the 13th* is infinitely better than Jason X or Freddy vs. Jason, but it's still schlock.**" Posted Feb 12, 2009
Fresh B-	Rotten 57%	Taken (2009)	" *Longtime action cinematographer Pierre Morrel proves adept at using the quick, claustrophobic cuts of the Bourne* franchise and the Transporter flicks.**" Posted Jan 29, 2009
Rotten C	Rotten 34%	Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)	" An inoffensive way to spend 90 minutes, unless of course you're on the husky end of the spectrum, in which case they're all going to laugh at you." Posted Jan 16, 2009
Rotten C	Rotten 50%	Notorious (2009)	" For anyone looking for something as real or engaging as Biggie's music -- or a good introduction to it -- will be disappointed by this mediocre celluloid life-after-death." Posted Jan 16, 2009
Rotten C+	Rotten 43%	Yes Man (2008)	" Though it's a star vehicle, Carrey seems only marginally interested in rehashing the role of sweet spaz, and so he almost feels miscast." Posted Dec 19, 2008
Rotten D	Rotten 15%	Dark Streets (2008)	" It's atmospheric like a steaming pile." Posted Dec 12, 2008
Rotten C	Rotten 50%	Twilight (2008)	" It's a disappointment for sure." Posted Nov 19, 2008
Fresh A	Fresh 67%	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	" Have your coffee? Feel like a brain teaser? Well, then, let's give the plot of Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York a try." Posted Nov 6, 2008
Rotten C+	Fresh 67%	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	" Disliking such a bona fide winner as the HSM empire makes a person seem like a world-class killjoy, but the relentless positivity and plastic smiley faces of these movies would make even the most joyful person have very dark thoughts." Posted Oct 23, 2008
Rotten C+	Rotten 46%	Sex Drive (2008)	" *he first half-hour of this movie is super-worse, with only some sub-American Pie* gags fleshing out the lame-brain plot, but once it gets on the road, there's pleasure to be had.**" Posted Oct 17, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 72%	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	" Let's call this High Fidelity Nano. It's a little bit less in every way, lighter and cuter than its archetypal elder, but it might just fit your present lifestyle all the better." Posted Oct 2, 2008
Fresh B-	Fresh 64%	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)	" It's enjoyable, though, even if it's extremely slight." Posted Aug 6, 2008
Rotten C+	Rotten 32%	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	" The X-Files: I Want To Believe does nothing so much as stir up a pining for the show in its prime." Posted Jul 24, 2008
Rotten C-	Rotten 14%	The Love Guru (2008)	" *Even if he is trying to find peace in his current banality, it doesn't make The Love Guru* any easier to watch.**" Posted Jun 19, 2008
Fresh A-	Rotten 46%	Mister Lonely (2008)	" *The film is a paean to the imagination, but what keeps Mister Lonely* from being just a self-indulgent flight of fancy is that Harmony Korine shows that even in Neverland, the suffering is real.**" Posted May 15, 2008
Fresh B	Rotten 28%	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	" *A first- or second-date flick, after which there can be some Cheesecake Factory and maybe a peck on the cheek, no harm done. What Happens in Vegas* is pleasant enough for all of that.**" Posted May 8, 2008
Rotten C	Rotten 0%	Graduation (2008)	" *Unlike 2005's pitch-perfect teen heist movie Brick, Graduation* misses nearly every note it tries to hit.**" Posted May 1, 2008
Rotten D	Rotten 40%	Zombie Strippers (2008)	" Since Jay Lee desperately wants to be in on the joke, the movie isn't exactly camp, but since it's actually terrible, it isn't a parody either." Posted Apr 24, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 84%	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	" For about an hour, the movie is essentially Budweiser ad humor writ long ("Dude!") but about halfway through, the movie shows it has a little heart." Posted Apr 17, 2008
Rotten C-	Rotten 26%	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	" Whoever shoulders the blame, this thing is a mess. We can only hope it's just a necessary step in Wilson's recovery, though not one you should feel obliged to watch." Posted Mar 20, 2008
Fresh B+	Fresh 78%	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	" Anyone who suffered through Carrey's turn as the Grinch would be forgiven for staying away from any further such pairing simply on principle. But to shun the newest Carrey-Seuss mix out of spite would be a shame because this movie is a delight." Posted Mar 13, 2008
Fresh B	Rotten 26%	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	" Why quibble? Anyone who goes to this movie for the plot is insane. It's all about the moves and the bodies putting them on." Posted Feb 13, 2008
Fresh B-	Rotten 59%	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	" An intermittently funny, by-the-numbers tour documentary that could easily have gone straight to DVD." Posted Feb 7, 2008
Rotten C	Rotten 14%	Untraceable (2008)	" Just ugh." Posted Jan 24, 2008
